re: 1-7 scheduling model gaining momentum per SI’s Ross Dellinger

There is no incentive to schedule two quality opponents, though.
The fourth cupcake game is bullshite, and is used to artificially inflate records to keep the conference profile high.
Pac 10, Big 10, Big 12 all play nine, no reason it shouldn't be standard.
There will be 16 teams in conference soon, it makes no sense not to expand the conference slate.

Pac 10, big xii, and big x would all trade places to be the SEC if given the opportunity. Do you doubt that?

The ACC regularly schedules 2 P5 OOC opponents. The idea that there is no incentive to treat your fanbase to fun, exciting away games along with interesting hand picked p5 opponents is excuse making from schools who fail to demand excellence from their AD.
